I guess what I was trying to ask and didn't do a good job of was, can you 'tell' by looking at the shells if there would be the potential that there was an issue with the proximately fuses or is the only way to know that there was an issue was to fire them?

How old will our 57's be by the time we build the CDC's (if they get built) and we decide to reuse the 57's on the new CDC's? Would we be risking the same scenario as you describe above?

Is the only way to discover an issue with the proximity fuses is to use the shells in a live fire drill?

I've been wondering the same thing about their lowering their dollar but I'm not sure that they (Trump & Admin) fully grasp that they are playing with a wicked fire called inflation that has the ability to kneecap them, coupled with the rising costs of imports. Here's a decent explanation of...

Fly the F35, live in Cold Lake. Fly the Gripen, live in Bagotville. Ouch.
